Rainflower stone, this treasure born from the embrace of the Yangtze River, has a wonderful journey from sedimentation to global collection.
Its geological formation has gone through three stages. The first stage is magmatic activity. Magma deep underground cools and crystallizes to form rocks rich in minerals such as quartz, laying the material foundation for the formation of Rainflower stones. The second stage is sedimentation. After weathering and erosion, the fragments of these rocks are transported by water currents to the Yangtze River basin and deposited, layer upon layer. The third stage is weathering and erosion. Under the long-term action of water flow, wind, etc., the deposited rocks are gradually rounded into shape, and finally form Rainflower stones.
The beauty of Rainflower stones can be appreciated through the six-beauty appreciation system. The beauty of form: they are either round or flat, with various shapes, naturally formed; the beauty of color: covering red, yellow, blue, green and other colors, with appropriate shades, gorgeous and dazzling; the beauty of texture: the lines are crisscrossed, like landscapes, flowers and birds, with a distant artistic conception; the beauty of quality: delicate and 温润,with moderate hardness, and excellent hand feel; the beauty of luster: under the light, it presents a soft and charming luster; the beauty of artistic conception: the whole gives people infinite reverie and contains unique cultural charm.
It is worth mentioning that the quartz (SiO₂) rich in Rainflower stones has important value. With the help of photovoltaic sand purification technology in Hunan, the quartz can be effectively extracted and purified from it. This technology has increased its value by 10 times and plays an important role in the photovoltaic and other fields.
The rate of precious Rainflower stones is only 0.1%, which has high investment value. Precious Rainflower stones usually have unique colors, textures, shapes and excellent quality. Just like the Three Gorges Rainflower stones, due to their unique formation environment and scarcity, the premium is as high as 200%. When investing, investors should pay attention to examining the quality, scarcity and cultural connotation of Rainflower stones and choose regular collection channels. Rainflower stone classification, Nanjing agate value are also important factors to consider in the collection and investment process.
